cxxviii Trans. Acad. Sci. of St. Louis. 



Early in the year the Missouri Botanical Garden under- 

 took the compilation of a list of the scientific periodicals to 

 be found in the various libraries in St. Louis. The Academy 

 joined in this undertaking as far as it was possible to do so. 

 The value of such a list — the need of which has been felt for 

 a long time — cannot be overestimated. By having such a list, 

 showing where books may be consulted, the labors of the 

 scientific workers of this great center will be greatly facilitated. 

 It is hoped that there will be active co-operation among the 

 libraries of this city in furnishing students with information 

 as to the location of works which may be of special interest. 

 Co-operation in making the literary treasures of a community 

 available will do much towards advancing the interests of those 

 laboring in the various fields of science.
